Ontario Beer Companies Are Pissed With Doug Ford's Buck-A-Beer Plan, Here's What They Have To Say

They have some other ideas for what Doug Ford could do.

This morning Premier Doug Ford is in Picton, Ontario to announce that by Labour Day weekend, Ontarians will finally get their buck a beer. The government is announcing that by September, the minimum price companies can sell beer for is going to be $1.

Doug Ford is at Barley Days Brewery to announce the new buck-a-beer plan and while some brewers do seem to be a fan of the program, others are speaking out against the Premier and they have a lot to say.

The biggest complaint that many brewing companies seem to have is that the program isn't even realistic.

If we sold our beer at $1 each we'd be out of business in a hurry. Not sure how this is even possible for craft brewers.

Doug Ford has said there will be incentives to encourage breweries to take part in the buck-a-beer program, however, even then some companies aren't convinced that they will still be able to make a profit selling beer for only $1.

The other fact some have pointed out is that even if the price of a beer is cheaper, they will have to serve it in smaller quantities to make up for it.

I work for an Ontario craft beer company.

Yes, I'll sell you a $1 beer.

It'll be in a 2oz glass, because I understand that good beer costs good money to produce.
